Default Brake light problem, please give advice.

Hi, I had my left brake light burn out on me and when I replaced the bulb it didn't fix the problem. To make things worse, now both brake lights are out? I replaced all the bulbs in each tail light housing and the other lights, [tail, fog and reverse] are fine. Any ideas?

thx,
aaron

Have you checked the fuse and brake pedal switch? Is the high-level (3rd) light working?

Default Hm, hadn't checked the floor switch yet. Didn't occur to me since the left one stopped

working 2 weeks before the right. Will also check the fuse. The 3rd light works, as well as the brake light on my spoiler.

I'd look at grounds and/or damaged wiring issues
